Kitchen

Welcome to the kitchen!

At a time when the average American meal clocks in 1500 miles to arrive on our plates, much of our food has been groomed for travel, not taste.

Not so at Down to Earth Markets.

At our markets, we take special care to “curate” the offerings. We strive for the right balance of local fruits and vegetables, meats, cheeses, breads, artisanal products and more. All of our vendors are family-scale producers who work in tandem with nature’s seasons. Everyone is “local,” meaning he or she travels “to the market and back in a day.” And with them, they bring food less traveled.

One of the great benefits of shopping at the farmers market is that we connect with nature. Every item is not available all the time, and this is a good thing. Week by week, shoppers get to experience the regional harvest, and each item is brought to market at its peak freshness. All of the artisanal producers at Down to Earth Markets have sourced from local farms, too.

Thus, when we get home with our shopping bags full, our kitchens become a place of celebration. People come to the table and partake of the best our area has to offer. Like every good party, the experience is full of surprises. We hope the recipes, cooking videos, and other culinary content here adds to the daily celebration in your kitchen.
